"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you did not do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour, catch the tradewinds in your sails.
Explore,.....Dream,.......Discover."

Mark Twain

Finally in the Hudson River


   After spending the last two days in Amsterdam we continued east on the canal  to Waterford, Ny.
We didn't get much of a chance to explore. We docked at the town dock called Riverlink Park which had a walkway that went over a set of  train tracks to the rooftop of a shopping mall. To get to the town you had to go through a fenced in area. Sure was different.  Had to get diesel so we pulled our cart about 1.5 miles just to get jug of fuel.
   The next day we both woke up not feeling too well, so stayed an extra day but slept most of the day.
   We arrived in Waterford today about 2:30 pm and tied up in front of a wooden boat not a 1/2 a mile from the Hudson River. From here we will finally start travelling south, but first we have to get our mast put back up.
  They are having a Tug Boat Festival here this coming weekend so we will have to move on as the docks are needed for the tugs. We are going to stay a few days and prep the mast.
